2. Ingredients
- 50 g Rolled oats
- 25 g Chocolate protein powder
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 18 g Almond butter
- 8 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 120 ml Milk
- ½ medium Banana
- 10 g Chopped almonds
3. Instructions
5 StepsIn a wide-mouth mason jar or breakfast bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Ensure all cocoa clumps are dissolved into the dry flakes.
Pour in the milk and spoon in the Greek yogurt. Stir slowly from the bottom upward until all dry pockets disappear and a uniform chocolate batter forms.
Mash the ripe banana and fold it into the chocolate oats. Spoon in the almond butter, stirring only twice to leave visible ribbons of nutty cream throughout the jar.
Seal the jar tightly and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours (or overnight) so the rolled oats absorb the liquid and achieve a thick, mousse-like consistency.
Remove lid and stir once. If the oats are denser than preferred, loosen with a tablespoon of cold milk. Scatter toasted sliced almonds and cacao nibs on top and serve cold.
